“They were the same age, same position, and if you saw them both in high school it wasn’t close: one was a real talent, the other was average
Don’t get me wrong: both were talented, but one was WAY beyond the other
Going into college, the one was considered a major prospect. I’m talking EVERYONE talked about him constantly, kids parents scouts. The other was average D1, nothing special-most people didn’t even know who he was
But then the average kid hit a late growth spurt. And overnight he became a stud
Other kid really never got better. I would say he honestly didn’t improve from high school on. High school was his peak. He got released in Milb
Late spurt kid is a bona fide MLB starter and will be in the league for 10 years”
So many kids get discouraged because they’re behind so and so at some particular age. Remember: average age MLB debut position player is 24.4 years old, pitchers 25.3. It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish!!
